Strategies and tips from the Academic Support team at Touro University California

About

Do you feel like sometimes you are the only one in class who doesn’t get it? Do you feel like you study hours on end but barely retain anything? Or, do you just want some advice on how to better manage your time and your study habits? If so, then this is the place to be! Welcome to the Touro University of California Academic Support blog, Efficient Learning!

Here, you’ll find study, time management, and wellness strategies and tips, in-house articles, student testimonials, and support services to guide you through the next few years of graduate school. Whether you are a student of COM, COP or CEHS, we have something for everyone.

Please take some time to peruse this one-stop shop. We encourage you to submit questions to our “Dear Dr. J” advice column or contact us with ideas for articles of your own. As the student voices of Touro, we want to hear from you.

We also encourage you to schedule an appointment with us to discuss your specific needs. As always, we welcome your suggestions and hope that you find this page useful.
